 If you are a manufacturer or distributor of shoes and you are going to export your products to the Russian market, sooner or later you will have to come up to the issue of Gost Standard certification.
The footwear in Russia today are regulated as follows: for adult footwear is required declaration of conformity GOST R, while for children's shoes mandatory GOST R certificate.
Both documents are used as part of mandatory certification. The only thing that distinguishes them is that the declaration of conformity GOST R, unlike the mandatory GOST R certificate, may be headed exclusively to a legal person or sole trader under Russian law, including local units of foreign companies with stable organization in Russia.
The introduction and increasingly widespread use of the declaration of conformity GOST R system in general and in the Technical Regulations, is nothing but an imitation of Russia and an attempt to assimilate its own regulatory system in the field of technical regulations to European one. In fact, in Europe for some of the products is the manufacturer to certify that the product conforms to the regulations by issuing the EC declaration of conformity, for others, such as medical devices, CE certificate is required. The same principle is the basis of the declaration and GOST R.
In addition to the certifications of compliance footwear is also the subject of health rules. In particular, footwear for men, women and children are listed in Chapter I of the single list of goods subject to health measures on the territory of the Customs Union (similar rules of ASL in Italy).

In addition, for footwear without soles knitted for boys and girls (HS code 6115) is required health certificate of the customs union.
The certification of footwear are held pursuant to Chapter 4 of the rules of certification for products of light industry and textile industry, which also apply to the certification of footwear for adults and children in the system GOST R.
The mandatory certification can be done using one of these certification schemes: 1, 1а, 2, 2а, 3, 3а, 4, 4а, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9а, а 10.10. However, for children's shoes is not recommended the use of certification schemes: 9, 9а, 10 and 10а.
The conformity assessment of footwear consists of the following: verification of compliance with its description of the artifact (man vs. woman, seasonality, dress shoe, comfortable, etc..), Check the type of shoe, test material with which they were made the sole component / uppers, verification of the upper mounting system and its components, checking type of insole and lining, functional analysis.
